Lea Michele is Kind of a C-Word

For someone with the face of Jimmy Durante, Lea Michele has been accused of diva antics on the set of Glee so many times I’ve never once posted about them. While you take a moment to absorb the sheer gravity of that statement, here’s an anecdote from True Grit actress, and potential Oscar contender, Hailee Steinfeld that ends in tears and remarkable grace. Via Yahoo!:

“When I was auditioning for ‘True Grit,’ I was on the Paramount lot,” the 14-year-old said in a recent interview with J-14 magazine. “I was wearing clothes from the 1800s that were big and uncomfortable. ‘Glee’ also films on the lot and I love the show.
“I saw Lea Michele just walking to her trailer and I was like, ‘That’s the girl from ‘Glee.’ I’ve got to go ask for her autograph!’ So I walked up to her and asked for her autograph, but she walked by and a guy came and said, “Sorry, now’s not a good time!” Hailee continued.
Though the embarrassing snub left the SAG Award nominee deflated, Hailee still counts herself a “Gleek.”
“I had to walk all the way back to the car wearing what I was wearing. I was practically crying on the way home. I was so sad!” she told the mag. “But she’s beautiful and she has an amazing voice.”

So Lea Michele completely ignored a poor little girl in frontier rags trying to get her attention? Jesus Christ. What if she was one of those Mormon child-brides making a break for it? “Listen, little girl with tales of rape and abuse, my latte didn’t have one of those paper sleeve thingies that keep your hand from getting all hot, so you can’t possibly understand how hard my life is right now. Like O.M.G. hard. I could’ve died.”

Whenever I hear shit stories like this, I remember Adam Carolla’s rant about situations like this:

“So I’m out at a dinner thing, and this guy starts going off on me out of nowhere about how I was such a douche to him three years ago when he asked me for an autograph in the Atlanta airport, and I just totally brushed him off like he wasn’t there. So I ask the guy “you think it’s possible maybe I didn’t see you? Did you take one second to give me the benefit of the doubt, like maybe I was lost in thought, or dealing with something in my head and not paying much attention to what was going on around me? No, you immediately got all butt-hurt, and made up your mind that I was the bad guy. Pardon me, but who the fuck are you to make that call?” I see this shit happen all the time, and it pisses me the fuck off. What is it, exactly, that you think I owe you? Pardon me for saying so, but I think if you’re going to pull this bullshit attitude with me, you at least owe me the benefit of the doubt, maybe treat me like a human being that’s just as fallible as everyone else. I’m not some fucking Diva, I’m just a dude who’s probably busting ass trying to make his connection flight like everyone else, so I’m sorry I didn’t see your whiny, needy, attention seeking ass.”

glee is the highest rated show for adult between the age of 18-45….try again.
People need to leave Lea alone. If you don;t like her ignore her. If you think she is after attention ignore her., don’t like glee ignore it.

If we all ignored things we didn’t like no one would ever post. I have never understood why people like you post here. This site is to take out our daily aggressions on people we don’t know, and never will know by bashing them futilely for no reason.

i LOVE when people say an obviously made up piece of information and then say FACT! like that just made it true. Like they think it makes them seem really funny and smart at the same time. Fact.
hahaha see what just happened there??

Wow really you are promoting calling women such derogatory names. Ridiculous As mention SHE WAS at work, it just wasn’t a good time. Even if she did blow her off calling her the c word is unnecessary.
I guess allof you are alwasy 100% perfectly nice to everyone you met every single day of your live. Please this isilly and time to lay off Lea for a mistake.

I don’t even know who writes these things because they never reveal their name but it’s such an insult the way you talk about women. Lea Michele does not look like Jimmy Durante. She’s a beautiful and talented girl. Just because she didn’t want to sign an autograph — and let’s not forget that it was someone ELSE who told Hailee that “now is not a good time” — so freakin’ what? Can’t she be in a bad mood or not feel well or maybe have other things on her mind? Maybe she didn’t even notice what was going on around her. People are so overly sensitive and they expect everyone to just drop everything to attend to THEM. Just because you’re a celebrity doesn’t mean you have to be extra pleasant all the time, no matter what’s going on in your life.

Was anyone here ever 14? It would be a hell of a different thing if this was a 25 year old woman complaining that she got blown off for an autograph, but it wasn’t, it was a 14 year old girl. Rejection hurts more at that age, or are we all so old and cynical that we don’t remember? I’ve been to ball parks where young kids just want their hero players to acknowledge that they exist and say hello as they pass by. Most of them can’t be bothered and you can see the hurt on the kids faces. That’s what makes them old and cynical like us.

Absolutely, Carolyn i see alot of bitching from people about Hailee Steinfeld needs to buck up and get over it, we can’t get want all the time or trying to postulate this is just her trying to play the sympathy card. Also the Adam Carolla thing, apples and oranges mate clearly, i personally don’t think Lea Michele is a Cunt, just was problem to caught up in whatever she had on to notice the girl and some handler tell her it’s not a good time. It’s upsetting for someone who is a big fan and they get brushed off like that. But hey she’s fine it’s just an anecdote she’s telling now she’s blown up because of True Grit , you don’t need to turn this into some snotty behaviour from the actress you cynical bastards, so just everybody chill all right.

Lea is kind of uppity for someone who is 25 and looks 40. And a 40 year old man at that.

In her defense though, you have no idea what she was doing at the time, or on the way to do, or just got done doing…judging someone you don’t know shit about is a childish thing to do.

Maybe she just finally got a break after 4 hours of filming, and has had a shit on deck for the last 3.5. If some 15 year old girl got between me and the crapper when it’s a photo-finish race, she’d be lucky not to get bootprints on her face.
